Meet some of our Social Carers
I am currently doing voluntary work with the blind and vision impaired community. Helping people in this community has given me great satisfaction and I have become confident in my ability to help make other people’s lives more enterprising.
I am warm-hearted, friendly, fun loving, caring, empathetic, patient and compassionate. I have a genuine love of people and desire to make a difference in someone else’s life.
As a practicing pharmacist back in my home country, I used to assist people with tasks ranging from health to home assistance. My passion for helping people is also why I am currently studying for a Masters degree in Public Health.
I have a big heart with lots to give and I love spending time with others and learning about their life experiences. I am a very calm, patient and empathetic person who is very protective with those that I love.
I am able to adapt to all situations with all people of different backgrounds and experiences. I’m understanding, but fun and energetic, where I can bring light to any situation.
Caring for people is my greatest passion. I'm involved in youth and kids ministries at church and my favourite part about it is being able to love on and care for others. It's how I'm built.
